Web Notes notes for Leo VI 'the Wise' Eastern Roman Emperor
His reign, which was one of joint rule with his brother, Alexander, was a continuation of the policies of his father. He ruled from 886 to 912. Leo maintained the status quo with the eastern Arabs, lost what
remained of Sicily to the western Arabs, and the Magyars and Russians were making serious incursions into the Empire. The Byzantine fleet suffered several major defeats at the hands of the Arabs.
